Description

I was always moved to write about difficult topics because I guess those were the things I was dealing with in my life so I was really advocating and exploring themes of sexual violence and gender-based violence, and because I was never going to share it with anyone it felt really cathartic.” I’ve found over the years it’s not going to be just one thing for me. No matter how busy I get I’m still going to see my therapist every two weeks at minimum, and I know exercise is the No. 1 thing that helps with my anxiety. I’m open about being on medication, and also I know meditation has really helped.” Leigh Haber: There’s an exercise at the very beginning of the book suggesting readers spend a few moments taking deep breaths, meditating on the word trauma to see what it conjures, and then allotting a few minutes to free writing. Healing Through Words is a poetry book by Rupi Kaur, the New York Times bestselling author of Milk and Honey. The book consists of a collection of poems that explore themes such as love, loss, trauma, healing, and resilience.

It may not appeal to readers who are looking for more structured and formal guidance on poetry writing techniques and forms. The literary and publishing world was and still is extremely elitist, and exclusive.Social media has helped to democratize the industry and allow readers find work they resonate with that they weren’t finding in bookstores. It allowed authors who wouldn't be accepted by traditional gatekeepers to find their audience. Social media has made this genre accessible and I think that is a beautiful thing because accessibility creates opportunity, and only through opportunities can we break barriers and progress as a community. It may not be suitable for younger or sensitive readers who may find some of the topics or language too mature or triggering. It is written by a #1 New York Times bestselling author and poet who has a large and loyal fan base. You don't need to be a writer to take this walk; you just need to write — that's all. ( From Simon & Schuster)Here, Kaur talks to Mashable about the power of poetry, her ambitions for the new publication, and how she hopes to continuously spark conversation with each stanza. But I think one of the things that’s helped me the most in recent years is forgiving myself for not being perfect at any of those things. I used to discover something that was really helpful, like meditation, and then I would be like, ‘I’m going to be the most perfect meditator in the whole world and I’m never going to be depressed again.’ And then I would ruin the experience for myself with such focus on the outcome,” she adds. The book is peppered with examples of her past work, and perhaps my one complaint about this book is that I had hoped to read some new work. All the same, it was a joy to revisit some of my favourites and her greatest hits.

It may not challenge or surprise readers who are already familiar with Rupi Kaur’s style and themes. Ukojenie ze słów" wyzwala, uświadamia, wycisza, pomaga uporządkować emocje, pozwala zrozumieć siebie, wyzwala kreatywność, koi i działa terapeutycznie. If you haven’t heard, New York Times bestselling author Rupi Kaur just released a book on Sept. 27 of this year! However, it’s unlike her usual forte. Most would naturally assume Healing Through Words is another poetry book we have seen before, but you’ll never guess what was in store.

Table of Contents

I remember Khalil Gibran’s On Joy and Sorrow, and On Marriage, and my stomach turning in that way that it turns when you fall in love or something like that. And I remember starting to write and creating all those early drafts which of course I would edit and edit. And I got to a point where I knew a poem was done when it would make my own stomach turn,” she says. You don’t need to be a writer to enjoy the book. It’s for anyone who wants to dig deeper into their personal experiences. I designed these writing exercises in a way that is meant to make writing easier, so that no matter what stage of writing you’re in, you can get something meaningful out of the book. I’m hoping that when people experience Healing Through Words, they're inspired to add writing into their self-care practice. I hope through my writing, readers feel less alone. Pain is unfortunately universal, but so is healing. I hope that my writing resonates deeply and reminds people that the human heart and life is fragile, but also resilient. I hope my work makes them feel powerful and seen – that everything will be okay in the end. You write the first thing that comes to mind without stopping to edit or revise or to be concerned with whether or not what you’ve written makes sense. You’re not trying to

You explore themes of love and sex. You write that your inner “defiant voice” gave you permission to not be knee-deep in trauma all the time, and helped you redefine toxic ideas of love. How did you—and how can readers—make that transition? The book is aimed at readers who are going through difficult times in their lives and are looking for a way to express their emotions and find solace. Kaur uses her signature style of short, simple, and powerful poems to help readers connect with their inner selves and find comfort in their pain. New York Times bestselling author Rupi Kaur presents guided poetry writing exercises of her own design to help you explore themes of trauma, loss, heartache, love, family, healing and celebration of the self. When I heard that Rupi Kaur would have a new book out, I just went for it. I didn’t even read the description. Rupi is an auto-buy for me every time. So imagine my delight and surprise when this book turned out to be guided writing exercises rather than a book of new work.

Readers' opinions about Healing Through Words by Rupi Kaur

I hope I’ve inspired a community and created a medium for people to feel safer to talk about these things. - Rupi Kaur Zadania w tej książce są przeróżne: jedne łatwiejsze, drugie trudniejsze - wymagające skupienia, czasu oraz cierpliwości. Grounding the experience are the workshops she led in her largely working-class immigrant community outside of Toronto. The poems in the book are divided into four sections: hurting, loving, breaking, and healing. Each section explores a different aspect of the human experience and takes readers on a journey through the ups and downs of life. Kaur's words are raw and honest, and they have the power to stir up emotions and touch the hearts of her readers.

It covers a wide range of themes that are relevant and relatable to many people, such as trauma, loss, heartache, love, healing, and celebration of the self. Throughout the years, Kaur has had to deal with comments from the media of how her work is “too much or controversial,” or some argue that it is not even poetry. And, in extreme cases, states like Texas have placed a ban on finding another one of her hit books, Milk and Honey, at local libraries as well as high schools. LESSONS ON HOW TO WRITE YOUR VERY OWN POETRY! No, you didn’t read that sentence wrong. Kaur delves into her stylistic techniques. For instance, our author here discusses on multiple fronts what the peach pit method is and how to use it. “I like to describe my shorter poems (the ones that are one-four lines), as peach pits,” she said. “This process is like removing the skin of the peach, then slowly digging through the fruity meat, until finally, I hit the center—the peach pit.” I think so many of us grew up without reading literature that reflected our experiences. Poetry taught in the west, always felt so far away from my reality. Personally, I couldn’t find poetry written by a Punjabi-Sikh woman and immigrant from a working class family. I think social media has proven people are hungry for that. The book has received widespread praise for its honest and vulnerable portrayal of the human experience. It has touched the lives of millions of readers around the world and has become a beacon of hope for those who are struggling with pain and trauma.Rupi Kaur: I use free writing to tap into my inner thoughts. I might wake up one day and think, Oh, I should be writing about this, or about that. But it’s really when I let go and allow my subconscious to take the wheel that the healing process starts. For my review of this Handson book, I give it a 9.5 out of 10! The reason it does not get a perfect score is because it was not what I was expecting. I figured it would be just a poetry collection. Honestly, I’m not disappointed; I was pleasantly surprised of what this turned out to be. What do you hope readers – particularly those who've experienced their own trauma – will experience or take away from your writing?
